Some think a fancy funeral

Be worth every cent

For every dime and nickel

Is money better spent

Better spent on groceries

Covering the bills

Instead of little luxuries

And unnecessary frills

Lovely yellow daffodils

And lacy filigree's

Pretty little angels

For everyone to see

Lilly of the valley

And long black limousines

It's three or four month's salary

Just to pay for all those things

So don't buy a fancy funeral

It's not worth it in the end

Goodbyes can still be beautiful

With all the money that you'll spend

There's no amount of riches

Bring back what you lost

To satisfy your wishes

You'll never justify the cost
